The Dorothy H. Turkel House is the only Wright-designed building within the city limits of Detroit.[1] The spacious, two-story residence also represents a rare example of Usonian design, since the "Usonian Homes" were typically small, single-story dwellings. It was recently restored, after years of neglect and vacancy, at a reported cost of one million dollars.[2][3][4]

Usonia
–
Usonia was a word used by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright to refer to his vision for the landscape of the United States, including the planning of cities and the architecture of buildings. Usonian is a term referring to a group of approximately sixty middle-income family homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright beginning in 1936 with the Jacobs House. The Usonian Homes are typically small, single-story dwellings without a garage or much storage and they are often L-shaped to fit around a garden terrace on unusual and inexpensive sites. A strong visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces is an important characteristic of all Usonian homes, the word carport was coined by Wright to describe an overhang for sheltering a parked vehicle. The Usonia Historic District is a community in Pleasantville, New York built in the 1950s following this concept. Wright designed 3 of the 47 homes himself, variants of the Jacobs House design are still in existence today. The Usonian design is considered among the origins of the ranch-style house popular in the American west of the 1950s. In 2013, Florida Southern College constructed the 13th Wright building on their campus according to plans that he created in 1939, the 1,700 sq. ft. Named the Usonian House, it was originally designed as one of twenty faculty housing units. The building is home to the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center, the word Usonian appears to have been coined by James Duff Law, an American writer born in 1865. He went on to acknowledge that some author had proposed Usona, perhaps the earliest published use by Wright was in 1927, But why this term America has become representative as the name of these United States at home and abroad is past recall. Samuel Butler fitted us with a good name and he called us Usonians, and our Nation of combined States, Usonia. –Frank Lloyd Wright on Architecture, Selected Writings 1894–1940, p.100, however, this seems to be a misattribution, as there is as yet no published evidence that Butler ever used the word. It has become the name for the United States in Esperanto. The creator of Esperanto, L. L. Zamenhof, used Usono in his speech at the 1910 World Congress of Esperanto in Washington, D. C. coincidentally the same year Wright was in Europe. Zamenhofs aprobo José F. Buscaglia-Salgado reclaims the term Usonian to refer to the peoples, national ideology, miguel Torres-Castro uses the term Usonian to refer to the origin of the Atlantic Puffin bird used in the childrens book Jupu the Puffin, A Usonian Story. The bird is a puffin from Maine, USA

Detroit
–
Detroit is the most populous city in the U. S. state of Michigan, the fourth-largest city in the Midwest and the largest city on the United States–Canada border. It is the seat of Wayne County, the most populous county in the state, the municipality of Detroit had a 2015 estimated population of 677,116, making it the 21st-most populous city in the United States. Roughly one-half of Michigans population lives in Metro Detroit alone, the Detroit–Windsor area, a commercial link straddling the Canada–U. S. Border, has a population of about 5.7 million. Detroit is a port on the Detroit River, a strait that connects the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is among the most important hubs in the United States, the City of Detroit anchors the second-largest economic region in the Midwest, behind Chicago, and the thirteenth-largest in the United States. Detroit and its neighboring Canadian city Windsor are connected through a tunnel and various bridges, Detroit was founded on July 24,1701 by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and a party of settlers. During the 19th century, it became an important industrial hub at the center of the Great Lakes region, with expansion of the American automobile industry in the early 20th century, the Detroit area emerged as a significant metropolitan region within the United States. The city became the fourth-largest in the country for a period, in the 1950s and 1960s, suburban expansion continued with construction of a regional freeway system. A great portion of Detroits public transport was abandoned in favour of becoming a city in the post-war period. Due to industrial restructuring and loss of jobs in the auto industry, between 2000 and 2010 the citys population fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nations 10th-largest city to 18th. In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777 and this resulted from suburbanization, corruption, industrial restructuring and the decline of Detroits auto industry. In 2013, the state of Michigan declared an emergency for the city. Detroit has experienced urban decay as its population and jobs have shifted to its suburbs or elsewhere, conservation efforts managed to save many architectural pieces since the 2000s and allowed several large-scale revitalisations. More recently, the population of Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, paleo-Indian people inhabited areas near Detroit as early as 11,000 years ago. In the 17th century, the region was inhabited by Huron, Odawa, Potawatomi, for the next hundred years, virtually no British, colonist, or French action was contemplated without consultation with, or consideration of the Iroquois likely response. When the French and Indian War evicted the Kingdom of France from Canada, the 1798 raids and resultant 1799 decisive Sullivan Expedition reopened the Ohio Country to westward emigration, which began almost immediately, and by 1800 white settlers were pouring westwards. By 1773, the population of Detroit was 1,400, by 1778, its population was up to 2,144 and it was the third-largest city in the Province of Quebec

Michigan
–
Michigan /ˈmɪʃᵻɡən/ is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. The name Michigan is the French form of the Ojibwa word mishigamaa, Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area. Its capital is Lansing, and its largest city is Detroit, Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is noted to be shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, the two peninsulas are connected by the Mackinac Bridge. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, as a result, it is one of the leading U. S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds, a person in the state is never more than six miles from a natural water source or more than 85 miles from a Great Lakes shoreline. What is now the state of Michigan was first settled by Native American tribes before being colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, the area was organized as part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Eventually, in 1805, the Michigan Territory was formed, which lasted until it was admitted into the Union on January 26,1837, the state of Michigan soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination. Though Michigan has come to develop an economy, it is widely known as the center of the U. S. automotive industry. When the first European explorers arrived, the most populous tribes were Algonquian peoples, which include the Anishinaabe groups of Ojibwe, Odaawaa/Odawa, the three nations co-existed peacefully as part of a loose confederation called the Council of Three Fires. The Ojibwe, whose numbers are estimated to have been between 25,000 and 35,000, were the largest, French voyageurs and coureurs des bois explored and settled in Michigan in the 17th century. The first Europeans to reach what became Michigan were those of Étienne Brûlés expedition in 1622, the first permanent European settlement was founded in 1668 on the site where Père Jacques Marquette established Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan as a base for Catholic missions, missionaries in 1671–75 founded outlying stations at Saint Ignace and Marquette. Jesuit missionaries were received by the areas Indian populations, with relatively few difficulties or hostilities. In 1679, Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle built Fort Miami at present-day St. Joseph, in 1691, the French established a trading post and Fort St. Joseph along the St. Joseph River at the present day city of Niles. The hundred soldiers and workers who accompanied Cadillac built a fort enclosing one arpent, cadillacs wife, Marie Thérèse Guyon, soon moved to Detroit, becoming one of the first European women to settle in the Michigan wilderness. The town quickly became a major fur-trading and shipping post, the Église de Saint-Anne was founded the same year

Geographic coordinate system
–
A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system used in geography that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation, to specify a location on a two-dimensional map requires a map projection. The invention of a coordinate system is generally credited to Eratosthenes of Cyrene. Ptolemy credited him with the adoption of longitude and latitude. Ptolemys 2nd-century Geography used the prime meridian but measured latitude from the equator instead. Mathematical cartography resumed in Europe following Maximus Planudes recovery of Ptolemys text a little before 1300, in 1884, the United States hosted the International Meridian Conference, attended by representatives from twenty-five nations. Twenty-two of them agreed to adopt the longitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the Dominican Republic voted against the motion, while France and Brazil abstained. France adopted Greenwich Mean Time in place of local determinations by the Paris Observatory in 1911, the latitude of a point on Earths surface is the angle between the equatorial plane and the straight line that passes through that point and through the center of the Earth. Lines joining points of the same latitude trace circles on the surface of Earth called parallels, as they are parallel to the equator, the north pole is 90° N, the south pole is 90° S. The 0° parallel of latitude is designated the equator, the plane of all geographic coordinate systems. The equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the longitude of a point on Earths surface is the angle east or west of a reference meridian to another meridian that passes through that point. All meridians are halves of great ellipses, which converge at the north and south poles, the prime meridian determines the proper Eastern and Western Hemispheres, although maps often divide these hemispheres further west in order to keep the Old World on a single side. The antipodal meridian of Greenwich is both 180°W and 180°E, the combination of these two components specifies the position of any location on the surface of Earth, without consideration of altitude or depth. The grid formed by lines of latitude and longitude is known as a graticule, the origin/zero point of this system is located in the Gulf of Guinea about 625 km south of Tema, Ghana. To completely specify a location of a feature on, in, or above Earth. Earth is not a sphere, but a shape approximating a biaxial ellipsoid. It is nearly spherical, but has an equatorial bulge making the radius at the equator about 0. 3% larger than the radius measured through the poles, the shorter axis approximately coincides with the axis of rotation

Frank Lloyd Wright
–
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures,532 of which were completed. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment and this philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater, which has been called the best all-time work of American architecture. Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home and his creative period spanned more than 70 years. In addition to his houses, Wright designed original and innovative offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, museums and he often designed interior elements for these buildings as well, including furniture and stained glass. Wright wrote 20 books and many articles and was a lecturer in the United States. His colorful personal life made headlines, most notably for the 1914 fire. Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as the greatest American architect of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright was born Frank Lincoln Wright in the farming town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States, in 1867. His father, William Carey Wright, was an orator, music teacher, occasional lawyer, William Wright met and married Anna Lloyd Jones, a county school teacher, the previous year when he was employed as the superintendent of schools for Richland County. Originally from Massachusetts, William Wright had been a Baptist minister, Anna was a member of the large, prosperous and well-known Lloyd Jones family of Unitarians, who had emigrated from Wales to Spring Green, Wisconsin. One of Annas brothers was Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who would become an important figure in the spread of the Unitarian faith in the Western United States, both of Wrights parents were strong-willed individuals with idiosyncratic interests that they passed on to him. According to his biography, his mother declared when she was expecting that her first child would grow up to build beautiful buildings and she decorated his nursery with engravings of English cathedrals torn from a periodical to encourage the infants ambition. In 1870 the family moved to Weymouth, Massachusetts, where William ministered to a small congregation, in 1876, Anna visited the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia where she saw an exhibit of educational blocks created by Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel. The blocks, known as Froebel Gifts, were the foundation of his innovative kindergarten curriculum, Anna, a trained teacher, was excited by the program and bought a set with which young Wright spent much time playing. The blocks in the set were geometrically shaped and could be assembled in various combinations to form three-dimensional compositions, the Wright family struggled financially in Weymouth and returned to Spring Green, Wisconsin, where the supportive Lloyd Jones clan could help William find employment. They settled in Madison, where William taught music lessons and served as the secretary to the newly formed Unitarian society, although William was a distant parent, he shared his love of music, especially the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, with his children. Soon after Wright turned 14, his parents separated, Anna had been unhappy for some time with Williams inability to provide for his family and asked him to leave. The divorce was finalized in 1885 after William sued Anna for lack of physical affection, William left Wisconsin after the divorce and Wright claimed he never saw his father again. At this time he changed his name from Lincoln to Lloyd in honor of his mothers family

The Palmer Woods Historic District is a residential historic district bounded by Seven Mile Road, Woodward Avenue, and Strathcona Drive in Detroit, Michigan. There are approximately 295 homes in the 188-acre district, which is between the City of Highland Park in Wayne County and the City of Ferndale in Oakland County and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The Detroit Golf Club is nearby, as of 2015 many of the wealthiest professionals in the City of Detroit live in Palmer Woods. The district is 188-acre in size, the Palmer Woods Historic District is named after Thomas W. Palmer, a prominent citizen of nineteenth-century Detroit and a United States Senator. Palmers estate included land on both sides of Woodward Avenue, stretching from Six Mile Road to Eight Mile Road. During his lifetime, Palmer donated some of his land to the city of Detroit to establish Palmer Park, Palmer died in 1913, two years later, Detroit real-estate developer Charles W. Burton purchased the section of Palmers estate that now encompasses the Palmer Woods Historic District. Burton envisioned a neighborhood, catering to Detroits richest citizens, with room for spacious. He hired the landscape architect Ossian Cole Simonds to design the layout of the development, Cole laid out a subdivision with gently curving streets, capitalizing on the natural beauty of the area and creating a parklike atmosphere in the neighborhood. Curbs are nonexistent, minimizing the transition from street to lawn and discouraging pedestrian traffic, the neighborhood received the Michigan Horticultural Societys Award of Merit in 1938 for being the finest platted subdivision in Michigan. Many Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styled homes were constructed between about 1917 and 1929, after World War II, additional mansions were constructed. In 2007 and 2008 there were around 24 residential properties that were vacant, by 2011 the community established its own private security service. By 2014, housing prices, which had declined, began to rebound. Palmer Woods is known for its streets, large brick and stone homes in Tudor Revival architecture. Lots are large, with room for trees, play equipment. There may be Scottish coats of arms, leaded stained glass windows, some of the properties boast more than one structure, such as a house and guest house, or maids quarters. Streets gently curve through the forested neighborhood, Palmer Woods has its own security service and an active voluntary neighborhood association. The home of physicians, politicians, business owners, artists, executives and their families, Charles W. Burton himself made his home in the neighborhood. Two of the seven Fisher Brothers, Alfred and William, also lived in the neighborhood, William Fishers house, on Wellesley, is 35,000 square feet, one of the largest in Detroit

International Standard Book Number
–
The International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, the method of assigning an ISBN is nation-based and varies from country to country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country. The initial ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering created in 1966, the 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108. Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure, however, this can be rectified later. Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number, identifies periodical publications such as magazines, the ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 in the United Kingdom by David Whitaker and in 1968 in the US by Emery Koltay. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108, the United Kingdom continued to use the 9-digit SBN code until 1974. The ISO on-line facility only refers back to 1978, an SBN may be converted to an ISBN by prefixing the digit 0. For example, the edition of Mr. J. G. Reeder Returns, published by Hodder in 1965, has SBN340013818 -340 indicating the publisher,01381 their serial number. This can be converted to ISBN 0-340-01381-8, the check digit does not need to be re-calculated, since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with Bookland European Article Number EAN-13s. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an ebook, a paperback, and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, a 13-digit ISBN can be separated into its parts, and when this is done it is customary to separate the parts with hyphens or spaces. Separating the parts of a 10-digit ISBN is also done with either hyphens or spaces, figuring out how to correctly separate a given ISBN number is complicated, because most of the parts do not use a fixed number of digits. ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for country or territory regardless of the publication language. Some ISBN registration agencies are based in national libraries or within ministries of culture, in other cases, the ISBN registration service is provided by organisations such as bibliographic data providers that are not government funded. In Canada, ISBNs are issued at no cost with the purpose of encouraging Canadian culture. In the United Kingdom, United States, and some countries, where the service is provided by non-government-funded organisations. Australia, ISBNs are issued by the library services agency Thorpe-Bowker

An interesting feature of the building is its diagnol corner buttresses which are not structural, the exterior is stucco with cypress wood trim and the interior wood is southern yellow pine with quarter-sawn white oak floors. The original tan Roman brick fireplace has been restored, Wright designed a small storage building for the house which has also been restored. The house had rooms for a maid and servant and it was designed with a call system so that Adams could request help from anywhere in the house, even the porch. The building sits on a lot, four houses from Lake Michigan. It is reminiscent of what would become Wrights A Fireproof House for $5000 design, Adams lived in the house for only three years before her death and is buried with her husband in Lowell, Massachusetts. The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29,1982 as part of the Highland Park Multiple Resource Area, the house was listed as a short sale in the 2000s and its fate was uncertain. New owners purchased the home in December 2010 and embarked upon an 18-month restoration using the plans of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Highland Park Historic Preservation Commission named it a landmark in 2011.

Emil Bach House
–
The Emil Bach House is a Prairie style house in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, United States that was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was built in 1915 for an admirer of Wrights work, Bach was co-owner of the Bach Brick Company. The house is representative of Wrights late Prairie style and is an expression of his creativity from a period just before his work shifted stylistic focus. The Bach House was declared a Chicago Landmark on September 28,1977, on December 5,1914, Emil Bach and his wife Anna purchased the site of the Bach House from Amelia Ludwick and her husband. In 1915 Bach commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design the house, Joseph Peacock purchased the house from the Bachs in 1934 and owned it until 1947. The property changed hands twice in 1951, the sale was in December to Manuel Weiss who held the property until 1959. That year he sold the house to Joseph Blinder, in 2003, Toulabi put the home up for sale with a price of US$2.5 million, it was later listed at $1.9 million. The house lingered on the market for months before it was put up for auction with a starting bid of $750,000. The Rogers Park neighborhood changed from a quiet lake front, country area to a busy street. Preservationists expressed concern surrounding the auction and the question of the destiny for the expansive 45 ft by 150 ft side yard. The yard is zoned RT-4 which, among other residential uses, when the home finally sold at auction, well above the opening bid of $750,000, the new owners revealed that they intended to live in the house and preserve the yard. In 2009, according to Crains Chicago, James Pritzker paid $1.7 million to acquire the house, the seller, Jane Elizabeth Feerer, bought the famous architect’s Prairie-style home at a 2005 auction for $1.17 million. She financed the acquisition with a loan for just under that amount from a trust controlled by Mr. Pritzker, president, following an extensive restoration, the house was re-opened to the public in 2014. The Bach House is one of the homes Wright designed after his 1911 return from Europe still extant in the city of Chicago, the home is part of a series of geometric, cubic homes with overhanging, flat roofs designed by Wright in the early 20th century. These details were first published by Wright in a 1907 Ladies Home Journal article, the first was the Laura Gale House in Oak Park, Illinois, followed by the Oscar Balch House, also in Oak Park, Coonley Kindergarten, the Bogh House and then the Bach House. Of the houses of type in Chicago, with cubic masses and a slab roof. The 2,700 ft² house was designed as a single family residence with a basement. When the house was constructed it was a home with a clear view of Lake Michigan from its rear facade

Theodore Baird Residence
–
The Theodore Baird Residence, also known as Baird House, is a suburban house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and located at 38 Shays Street in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States. It is the only Wright design in Massachusetts, the Usonian house was planned and built in 1940 for Amherst College English professor Theodore Baird. The Bairds became interested in Wrights work after reading his autobiography, Wright produced drawings based on the Bairds description of their lifestyle and a description of the lot. They were unable to locate contractors in the area who were able to do the work, part of the construction work was done at a factory in New Jersey, and moved to Amherst for final assembly. The house was the only Usonian for which the materials were prefabricated before being brought to the site and it is a single-family house with brick, cypress wood and glass façades and a flat roof highly cantilevered over a carport.

Oscar B. Balch House
–
Balch House is a home located in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. The Prairie style Balch House was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1911, the home was the first house Wright designed after returning from a trip to Europe with a clients wife. The subsequent social exile cost the architect friends, clients, the house is one of the first Wright houses to employ a flat roof which gives the home a horizontal linearity. Historian Thomas OGorman noted that the home may provide a glimpse into the mind of Wright. The Balch house is listed as a property to a U. S. federally Registered Historic District. The Oscar Balch House was one of the first homes designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright upon his return from a trip to Europe. Wright had traveled to Europe with Mamah Borthwick, a clients wife and this flaunting of public morality lost him friends, clients and his family. Amongst those who by contrast stood by Wright was the interior decorator Oscar Balch, Balch was one of two partners in the decorating firm Pebbles & Balch. Wright had previously designed a building remodel for Balchs storefront on Lake Street in Oak Park, in 1907, the Balch House is one of Wrights first flat-roofed houses and its proportions are taller compared with later flat-roofed homes he designed. Wright brought new drama to his Prairie style with the addition of the flat roof, the expansive roof further refined the simplicity of Wrights Prairie style house. The house has broad, overhanging eaves, common to Prairie houses, the exterior is sheathed in stucco which provides a sculpting effect on the exterior. The original color of the stucco on the exterior is unknown, the design of the house is symbolic in its heightened terrace walls, the security walls and its hidden and obscured entryway. The house clearly shows the signs of someone who feels trapped or under siege, the events of Wrights personal life may be reflected in the design of the Balch House.

Quintin Blair House
–
The Quintin Blair House in Cody, Wyoming was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1952-53. The house is an example of Wrights natural house theme, emphasizing close integration of house and it is the only Wright building in Wyoming. Ruth Taggart Blair was a student at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts during the 1930s and her professor, Bruce Goff, took the class to visit Taliesin at Spring Green, Wisconsin, where they met Wright. In 1951 Ruth and Quintin Blair were visiting Arizona, when Ruth suggested that they visit Taliesin West in Arizona and they were met by Wright in the driveway, introduced themselves, and were invited to stay for lunch. At the luncheon, Wright expressed a desire to design a house for them, at Wrights suggestion, the Blairs bought some land away from town, as Wright did not want to design for a city lot. The house was completed in 1953, the house is laid out on a 4-foot by 4-foot grid. The house is dominated by a low, nearly flat roof that flares dramatically over the living room, the windows have mitered corners, eliminating a support and giving the impression that the glass itself incorporates a right-angle bend. A small triangular bay projects from the wall as a piano niche. Exterior wall materials are locally quarried ashlar sandstone. The site is a 40-acre parcel near a creek about 15 feet below the house. Springs near the house have been dammed by a wall aligned with the piano bays angled wall, the house has been modified and somewhat enlarged, with consultation from Taliesin. The Blair House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, photographs of the Quintin Blair House at the National Park Services NRHP database Quintin Blair House at the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office

Frederick C. Bogk House
–
Bogk House is Frank Lloyd Wrights only single-family residential project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Bogk was an alderman and secretary-treasurer of the Ricketson Paint Works and this house embodies Wrights prairie style elements into a solid-looking structure that appears impregnable. In the mid-1910s, developer Arthur Richards was promoting Wright and he had designed several projects for associates of Richards, but only two were built - the Munkwitz Apartments, and this residence for Frederick C. By this time, Wrights popularity was in decline, mostly due to personal troubles, the house was built in 1917 at a cost of $15,000. The current owners, Robert and Barbara Elsner, purchased the home in 1955, the sophisticated balance of horizontal and vertical lines further reflects the strong Japanese influence. The understated entrance is located at the side of the house, the first-floor interior is a fluid succession of rooms sprawling under a low-lying ceiling. The living room extends across the front of the house, with a room at the right rear of the living room. A bedroom above the garage at the rear was for the maid. There are four bedrooms and a room upstairs. Tall, narrow leaded glass windows both frame the windows, and appear by themselves as design elements. Similar glass panes are embedded in interior brick walls, with lights behind, there is a tiled goldfish pond against one wall of the living room, and a plaque above it with and image of cranes. Built-in light fixtures and other elements are common. There is some built-in furniture, such as desks and bookshelves, the other furniture is not original to the house, but is Wrights design.

Edward E. Boynton House
–
The Edward E. Boynton House was built in Rochester, New York in 1908. This two-story house is built in the elongated T plan, Frank Lloyd Wright won agreement from Boynton to not only design the house but also design the landscape and furnishings as well. Its the furthest east of Wrights Prairie houses, Edward Boynton was a successful lantern salesman and partner in the C. T. Boynton learned of Frank Lloyd Wright through a partner, Warren McArthur. Wright had built the Warren McArthur House in the Kenwood District of Chicago in 1892, in 1907, Wright came to Rochester to help Edward and his daughter Beulah select a site for their home. Boynton bought four city lots on East Blvd, the plans also called for 28 American elm trees on the property. Boyntons daughter helped him work with Wright on the design of the house as his wife had died years earlier, Wright and Beulah Boynton established a great architect-client relationship - not always the case for Wright with his clients. Wright incorporated many of her suggestions into the structure and design, Wright would frequently and unexpectedly show up at the site during construction and once there, never leave the house for 2 to 3 days - often sleeping in makeshift sheds set up by the workmen. The home is oriented sideways on the lot, the living room is extended west by a veranda which aims towards the street. The dining room is large and includes rows of leaded art glass windows on each floor, with separate designs for casements and clerestory windows. The veranda was enclosed and the same art glass added to it. The cost of the house and site was $55,000.00, the Boyntons lived in the house until 1918. I thought it was sited on a hilltop surrounded by an expanse of space. This home is still a private residence, the elms are gone, a casualty of Dutch elm disease in the 1960s. As a result of weather conditions in Rochester and problems with the original design, its upkeep has been a continual problem. An extensive restoration project was completed in 2012, the two and a half year restoration project was undertaken by the present owners of the house, Francis J. Cosentino and his wife Jane E. Parker, who purchased the house in 2009 for $830,000. The progress of the work was documented in a Rochester. Public Broadcasting Station channel WXXI program entitled, Frank Lloyd Wrights Boynton House, the Rochester, N. Y. based architecture firm, Bero Architecture PLLC, was the lead firm in the restoration of the house

The carport is cantilevered to the extreme engineering capacity, a prop was put at the corner during construction to prevent sagging. The roof was built two inches too high at that corner and when the prop was removed the roof settled right down to the proper level and this was a trademark of Wright, to take engineering to the extreme. The long leg of the L houses a wing with three bedrooms, and a small workshop, at the hinge, a small kitchen with wood cabinets and a dark countertop served the family. The more public spaces – a living room, den, the hexagonal living room opens onto a dramatic space, with a shed roof soaring over it. The sloped ceiling has a large gold leaf inset that reflects the natural light. The hallway leading to the bedrooms is of redwood batten, as are the walls in the bathroom, the kitchen, with its wood cabinets and dark counter top, is conveniently nestled near the center of the house. The smaller wing was designed to accommodate Mr. Buehler’s need for a home office and he was known for machining the highest-quality mounts, bases, and rings for rifle scopes. Wright designed a number of pieces of furniture for the house and they include a dining room set with the backs of the chairs that do not intentionally rise above the tabletop so as not to impede the view of the garden. The wooden dining table consists of pieces that can be moved around and more pieces added to create a large setting for Thanksgiving. The living room has a bench along the perimeter.

It is itself a National Historic Landmark and is included in another National Historic Landmark, the Avery Coonley House in Riverside, Illinois, is located on a unique small peninsula surrounded by the Des Plaines River. Of the few estates that Frank Lloyd Wright developed, it is one of his largest and most elaborate prairie school-homes ever built and it is one of just three multi-building prairie complexes built by the famed architect. The other two are the Dana-Thomas House and the Darwin D. Martin House complexes, the Coonley house is also the first example in Wrights work of a zoned plan. The raised second floor includes three zones, The public area, the wing and finally the kitchen and servants areas. The original residence was over-9000-square-feet and built on a ten-acre parcel, the entrance halls, playroom and sewing room are on the ground floor. An entire complex of interrelated buildings with extensive raised and sunken gardens was designed by landscape architect Jens Jensen, the main structure of the Avery Coonley Estate is the public-living room wing, located on Bloomingbank Road and behind that facing Scottswood Road is the bedroom wing of the mansion. The complex also includes a separate house and gardeners cottage. The Coonleys had investigated Wrights other homes and told him that they saw in his work the countenances of principle, Wright stated in his autobiography that This was to me a great and sincere compliment. So I put my best into the Coonley House and he designed all the features and furnishings within the home, including rugs and textiles. Wright had been rumored to have designed dresses worn by Queene Ferry to compliment the interior surroundings, the designs of the Coonley House were included in his 1907 exhibition at the Chicago Architectural Club. A philanthropic couple, The Coonleys had progressive beliefs which included education for children. At the age of four years, their only daughter Elizabeth was too young to attend the local school. To educate her child and others, Queene Ferry requested that Wright design a kindergarten, The Avery Coonley School Playhouse, in 1912 on nearby Fairbank Road, the art glass windows of the Coonley Playhouse feature one of Frank Lloyd Wrights most well known designs. Many of the originals can be seen in such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The colored side of the art glass windows faced the inside of the house, the kindergarten school moved from the Coonley Playhouse in Riverside to a larger facility in Downers Grove in 1916 and eventually became a full K-8 elementary school and still exists today. The original Coonley Playhouse near the estate in Riverside is currently a private residence, alterations to the Coonley Estate have been made through the years, by Wright and others

William H. Copeland House
–
The William H. Copeland House is a home located in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. In 1909 the home underwent a remodeling designed by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the original, Italianate home was built in the 1870s. Dr. William H. Copeland commissioned Wright for the remodel and that version was rejected and the result was the more subdued, less severely Prairie, William H. Copeland House. On the exterior the most significant alteration by Wright was the addition of a hip roof. The house has been listed as a property to a U. S. The William Copeland House was first constructed around 1873 for William H. Harman, the large, Italianate home represented a microcosm of the general character of homes in Oak Park before Wright began designing buildings. Homes of this style, classically tinged and robust, dotted the landscape of small towns across the United States, in 1909 the then-owner, Dr. William Copeland, a prominent surgeon with offices in Chicago and Cleveland, commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to remodel the home. It was the commission for Wright from Copeland, in 1908 the architect had designed a garage for Copeland at the residence. The Copeland House was designed around 1873 by an unknown architect, Wrights 1909 remodel work included exterior and interior alterations. A new tile roof was added above the brick work. The work fused Wrights Prairie style with the traditional Italiante style through the exterior lines. The remodeling work also replaced the doors with doors, frame, sidelights. Wrights original plan called for the Copeland House to be remodeled into a three-story Prairie house, the result was that the Wright-designed remodel was not as ambitious as it had been planned to be originally. Of the exterior work Wright designed, the new roof was the most substantial, in addition to the expansive exterior work Wright remodeled the main rooms on the ground floor to adhere to his Prairie style. Also inside he designed the dining room sideboard, table and chairs, the Copeland House is an example of Wrights remodeling design work. It is listed as a property to the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District. The historic district joined the U. S.

Walter V. Davidson House
–
The Walter V. Davidson House, located at 57 Tillinghast Place in Buffalo, New York, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1908. It is an example of Wrights Prairie School architectural style, the house is a contributing property to the Parkside East Historic District, a neighborhood laid out by renowned American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted in 1876. Wrights patron, Walter V. Davidson, had joined the Larkin Company in Buffalo as the manager in 1906. Davidson was introduced to Wright by fellow Larkin executive Darwin D. Martin, consequently, Wright was commissioned to build a house by Davidson, and in turn another Larkin employee William R. Heath. Davidson left both the house and the Larkin Company in 1913 to establish the Davidson Shoe Company, in a house built on a relatively modest budget, Wright emphasized space and light rather than ornament. This helped make the Davidson House notable in several respects, primarily as a Tall Living Room house, the living room is two stories high featuring a 2-story bay window on the east wall and 1 1⁄2-story-high clerestory windows on the north and south walls. These panes are oriented horizontally, rather than vertically, uncommon to the style of the day, each pane is offset a number of degrees, rather than laid flat on an even plane, increasing privacy due to light reflecting off the glass at different angles. The basic floor plan is cruciform, on the ground floor is the dining room, and at the opposite end a porch, with the Tall Living Room and the second story centered in the middle. The floor plan is almost identical to the Isabel Roberts House, built that year in River Forest, Illinois. This resulted in the room being oriented to the side of the house rather than the street front. This view was quickly lost, however, when the next door was built. Like the William R. Heath House the Davidson House has a basement containing the utilities, a laundry, pantry. Nearby are the kitchen and side entry on the ground floor, there are three bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. In the 1930s the residence was remodeled, updating the kitchen, one of the original bedrooms was reduced in size and a closet eliminated to make way for a hallway leading to the new suite, which consisted of a dressing chamber, bathroom, and sleeping chamber. The addition incorporated the same casement windows of diamond-shaped leaded glass prevalent in the rest of the house

Located farther east than the Nathan Rubin Residence and the Ellis A. Feiman House, it is set back from the road, has tall, thin casement windows and its distinctive geometric design module based upon an equilateral triangle reflects Wrights Usonian design philosophy. An apprentice came from Taliesin to oversee construction of the houses in Canton and that was standard operating procedure for Wright. It was also standard that he would get a map of a site before he began a design. The house was built on a parcel that was once a cornfield. Along with a design for the house, Wright created an ingenious planting plan for the property which featured 14 pin oak planted in perfect relation to the structure

In 1940, the house was sold to media personality John Nesbitt, who had Wright add a pool on the terrace, a billiard room on the ground floor. Although originally and currently known as the Ennis House, the building was known as the Ennis-Brown House. This became its name in 1980 when it was renamed in appreciation of its donation to the Trust for Preservation of Cultural Heritage by Augustus O. Brown, the eighth owner from 1968–1980. In August 2005, the house was returned to its name. Even before its completion the Ennis House was marked by structural instability, concrete blocks had cracked and lower sections of the walls buckled under tension. The use of decomposed granite from the site to color the textile blocks introduced natural impurities to the concrete mix, attempts to apply a protective coating caused additional problems. More damage occurred due to the 1994 Northridge earthquake and the precipitation during the 2004–2005 rainy season. The Ennis House Foundation had estimated that it could cost US$5 million just for stabilization costs, after the rains the building was briefly red-tagged as no entry but was down graded to yellow- for limited entry by late 2005. At that point significant damage to the wall at the southern rear of the building remained. In 2005 the house was added to the National Trust for Historic Preservations list of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. In 2006 a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant was issued, as well as a US$4.5 million construction loan through First Republic Bank, the project included a new structural support system, restoration or replacement of damaged blocks, restoration of windows, and a new roof

Fabyan Villa
–
Fabyan Villa was the home of George and Nelle Fabyan from c.1908 to 1939. The house is notable because of its remodelling in 1907 by Frank Lloyd Wright and it was the centerpiece of the Fabyans country estate, which they named Riverbank. The Kane County Forest Preserve District of Illinois purchased the majority of the Fabyan estate in 1939, George Fabyan was a millionaire businessman who had a thirst for knowledge. Inheritance from his tycoon-fathers textile business, Bliss, Fabyan & Co. provided the foundation from which the Colonel and his wife, Nelle. The mid-1800s farmhouse that the Fabyans acquired in 1905 was dubbed by them, in 1907, the farmhouse was extensively redesigned by Wright, who added a south wing, three verandas, and large eaves to achieve a cruciform modestly Prairie-style country house. Other hallmarks of Wrights organic architecture found in the Fabyan Villa are geometric window motifs, light screens, string-coursing, open floor plan, in 1910, the Fabyans hired Taro Otsuka to design a Japanese-style garden below the villa. The one-acre garden was developed over the several years, and from 1918 on, maintained by Susumu Kobayashi. Japanese gardens were popular amongst the class, and it was a well-known attraction throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The Fabyan Windmill is unique due to the bakery it houses that according to legend, was used to bake bread for the Fabyans pet bears. During war-time rationing, the Windmill was used to grind grain for the surrounding community, between 1912 and 1922, Fabyan created Riverbank Laboratories, the first privately owned research facility in the United States. In fact, the National Security Agency has recognized Riverbank Laboratories as the birthplace of cryptology and has honored Fabyan for his services to the United States government. This site also contained Georges and Nelles private library and museum, in 1918, Fabyan built the first reverberation chamber in the US for Harvard physicist Wallace Clement Sabine, the pioneer researcher in architectural acoustics. The acoustic laboratory is still in use today as a testing facility, university Of Chicago Press,2006, ISBN 0-226-77621-2.

Fallingwater
–
Fallingwater or the Kaufmann Residence is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania,43 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The home was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a home for the family of Liliane Kaufmann and her husband, Edgar J. Kaufmann. Time cited it after its completion as Wrights most beautiful job and it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. At age 67, Frank Lloyd Wright was given the opportunity to design, Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. was a Pittsburgh businessman and president of Kaufmanns Department Store. His son, Edgar Kaufmann, jr. studied architecture briefly under Wright, Edgar Sr. had been prevailed upon by his son and Wright to subsidize the cost of a 12-foot-square model of Wrights Broadacre City. The model was displayed at an Industrial Arts Exposition in the Forum at the Rockefeller Center starting on April 15,1935. After the New York exposition, Kaufmann Sr. arranged to have the model displayed in Pittsburgh at an exposition titled New Homes for Old, the exposition opened on June 18 on the 11th floor of Kaufmanns store. The Kaufmanns lived in “La Tourelle”, a French Norman estate designed by Pittsburgh architect Benno Janssen in the Fox Chapel suburb in 1923 for Edgar J. Kaufmann, the Kaufmanns owned property outside Pittsburgh with a waterfall and cabins they used as a rural retreat. When these cabins deteriorated, Mr. Kaufmann contacted Wright, on December 18,1934, Wright visited Bear Run and asked for a survey of the area around the waterfall. One was prepared by Fayette Engineering Company of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, including all the boulders, trees, and topography. As reported by Wrights apprentices at Taliesin, Kaufmann Sr and he could not wait to see Wrights plans. Wright had told Kaufmann in earlier communication that he had working on the plans. After breakfast that morning, amid a group of very nervous apprentices, Wright intended to build the home above the falls, rather than below them to afford a view of the cascades as he had expected. It is said that Kaufmann was initially upset that Wright had designed the house to sit atop the falls. He had wanted the house located on the bank of Bear Run. He had told Wright that was his favorite aspect of the Bear Run property, one problem of building was that the location of the north bank of Bear Run was not large enough to provide a foundation for a typically built Wright house. The Kaufmanns planned to entertain large groups of people, so the house would need to be larger than the plot allowed, also, Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmann requested separate bedrooms, as well as a bedroom for their adult son and an additional guest room
